kisskh has lost its credibility by allowing contributor Lily Alice to continually post slanderous falsehoods about actress Zhao Lusi. Where is the commitment to unbiased reporting? Where is the integrity in verifying information rather than recycling unverified claims from unreliable sources? MDL is no longer a platform for enjoying and tracking dramas; it has devolved into a tabloid. Whereas I once logged in daily with enthusiasm, I now visit barely once a month.


Restore MDL to its original purpose, not a platform for one of your contributors to abuse their influence. Do the right thing: remove Lily Alice’s malicious articles and prevent her from posting such content in the future.

I think any article published needs to be fact checked and generated traffic based on lies and biases is just creates feeling for the whole platform. Same with downvoting dramas based on dislike for an actor etc, the rating can no longer be used for original purposes and becomes meaningless.

I certainly hope that people don’t start reporting posts just because there are curse words used.  And I hope that posts containing curse words aren’t taken down. That would turn the site into something that I would not be interested in. 

I am all for reporting and deleting sexist, racist, homophobic, and other hateful speech but getting a post taken down because there’s a swear word in it feels like too much. 

That is why I posted the question because Ji-N's post is not clear for me! He/She/They speak of vulgar language so I wanted an explanation from him/her/them. I would not want posts taken down but posters warned and educated in what this site considers appropriate language. If curse words are appropriate, so be it and when I come upon such vocabulary, I'll just skip it. As I have been doing for years now though sometimes I cannot avoid it. Sometimes such language is appropriate but most of the times here what I saw is just people using it to express how blown away they were by a drama/film etc. It just speaks of their lack of education, in my opinion, but to each their/his/her own! Who am I to complain or say anything, for that matter? Right?

t just speaks of their lack of education, in my opinion,

Not gonna lie, that’s a pretty outdated take. Using curse words doesn’t mean someone’s uneducated. In fact, people with a solid education usually have a wider vocabulary, and that includes a colourful range of curse words too. It’s literally a sign of verbal fluency to be able to express yourself in all kinds of ways, depending on the mood and message.

Some of the smartest, most educated people I know can drop a well-placed curse word like it’s an art form. It doesn’t make their writing any less valid, thoughtful, or entertaining. And let’s not forget — in these cases, people aren’t cursing at real human beings. They’re expressing frustration, excitement, or disbelief at fictional stories, characters, and situations. 

Judging someone’s education based on a few swear words in a review feels a bit unfair, especially since research has also shown that swearing plays important emotional and expressive roles in language, helping people convey strong feelings, cope with frustration, and even build social bonds.

Can't quote properly on mobile but completely agree and I'd appreciate clarification on this policy as well. I can see valid reporting if swears are being thrown at users but just casual usage in everyday speech shouldn't be policed in this manner. The tiktok esque self censorship is bad enough without it becoming site policy.
